Thank you for the link. I had heard about the twice-exceptional issue but had not seen the article. Do these scores indicate there could be an undiagosed LD? I don't think the committee will be looking for that so I am not sure how to proceed. I am hesitate to use the school because I don't think they will see an issue. My daughter is a straight A student, organized, helpful, etc. so teachers don't see any issues. The only negative comment I get is here she needs to organize her thoughts better in speaking and writing. Her creative writing is wonderful but when she has to explain what she read she struggles.
In 1st grade she was well above grade level in her reading and was identified as gifted in that area. Since then (she is now in 4th) I have seen a drop in her reading -- to the point that she even regressed -- and reading comprehension. It bothered both my husband and I this change. When I bring it up to her teachers or the reading specialist, they tell me I am worry about nothing. She is still above or at grade level so I should not worry. If she does have a LD I don't want to wait until middle or high school to find that she is failing OR that is able to manage but never reach her full potential. Any thoughts, suggestions?
